A commutation payment from your RRSP may be transferred directly to an RRSP, a RRIF, or to buy yourself an eligible annuity. You can use Form T2030, Direct Transfer Under Subparagraph 60(l)(v), to make this request.
Note
Under proposed legislation, amounts cannot be transferred to an RRSP if you were over 71 at the end of the tax year.
This payment is shown in box 22 of your T4RSP slip. Report this amount on line 129 of your return.
If you receive the commutation payment in cash or by cheque, the payment is not a transfer and is not tax free.
